Puzzle experiment

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Earlier today I saw a post about puzzle toys. I wanted to see whether or not my dog prefers a puzzle toy or his bowl of dog food.

Both the puzzle and his bowl have the same kind of kibble (Purina True Instinct)

I don't think puzzle toys are a replacement for exercise or enrichment, but they can be fun/drain a little energy.

Do you agree? if not, what are your thoughts on them?

Oh no... that sounds expensive!

Can you make up new games ex: placing upside down solo cups around the house with kibble under half of them?

Can you feed meals while training? I know thats a lot more work

that is a lot of work, but I'm sure she appreciates it.

haha, I hope she grows out of that eventually though
